About
Markdown is a lightweight markup language used to add formatting to plain text documents using simple, human-readable syntax.
It defines elements such as headings, lists, links, images, code blocks, and emphasis through a simple set of symbols like "#*`[]()", and supports extensions for tables, footnotes, and task lists.
Sass ("syntactically awesome style sheets") is a stylesheet language that compiles to 
CSS and allows developers to use variables, nested rules, mixins, and functions.
